thereuare Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Welcome to BetterBidding! Best guess/comments below: Soho - Tribeca Hotel 1 - $221.00 4.5 Star --> i'm not certain, but the Tribecca Grand would be my beset guess here Hotel 2 - $310 4.5 Star --> no guess Midtown East $215 4.5 star --> Omni Berkshire Hotel (although a slight chance of the Benjamin which can't be ruled out) Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

VanessaV2210 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Posted February 15, 2015 Thank you so much. Do you think the $310 could be The James?
thereuare Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 It's possible... but i don't think so. What is it hat you're looking for from this stay? What is your maximum budget per nite?

VanessaV2210 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Posted February 15, 2015 It's my OH 40th birthday and so looking to say downtown to have a bit of choice of restaurants, shopping, comedy clubs, nightlife. We were in NYC for NYE this year and stayed at the Hyatt TS. I don't mind TS area, but having stayed in that area so much over the last 10 years, I'd like to try the Soho/Tribeca area. Ideal budget - $250, max budget $300 before taxes etc. I'm fussy as anything so the quality and cleanliness of the Hyatt TS was amazing for me. TIA
VanessaV2210 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Posted February 15, 2015 Any idea on this one: TS - Theatre District4.5 Stars$247FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Pet friendly, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access TIA
thereuare Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 The Algonquin would be my guess for this 4.5* Times Square property. If you're looking to stay downtown, how about the 4.5* hotel (with a 4.5/5.0 TA rating and 100% recommended by previous HOTWIRE guests) in the Downtown zone for $237/nite: Free Internet Pet Friendly Fitness Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Spa Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Wheelchair Accessible Bathroom Accessible Roll-in Shower ... the Andaz Wall Street would be my best guess for this one.

VanessaV2210 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Posted February 19, 2015 I think the Andaz Wall Street is a bit too far down for us. I will wait until a wee before the trip and book then. I will book through your links and report back. If I have any questions at the time for id help, I will come back to this thread. Thank you so much in the meantime.

VanessaV2210 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Posted February 25, 2015 Just had a quick look to see if anything new has come up and there is a TS property 4* with no reviews/ratings or amenities showing. All it says is bed choice available. $172 a night. Any thoughts? TIA
AaronJB Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 I'm not seeing a 4* in TS with no amenities when searching this morning. Are you still seeing this listing while searching?

thereuare Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Just had a quick look to see if anything new has come up...Remember our RateDrop service will monitor your desired star rating and zones for your dates of travel and let you know of any rate drops. I see the 4* in PRICELINE EXPRESS at $173/nite with no amenities... my guess would be The Row. Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board. Good luck and let us know what you decide or how we can be of further help. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
VanessaV2210 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Posted February 26, 2015 Yep, signed up with the Rate.drop service a couple of weeks ago. I think I am being optimistic for The James or The Hyatt TS for the time of year! Will keep waiting and searching and report back! Thank you

VanessaV2210 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Posted March 1, 2015 I'm excited about the possibility of this one and I may do it if you confirm my thoughts: 4* rating in ESB area9+ rating or higherPets allowed Free Internet Restaurant and Business Centre$216 a night. If you can help please that would be fabulous! Thank you!
AaronJB Posted March 1, 2015 Report Posted March 1, 2015 I'm excited about the possibility of this one and I may do it if you confirm my thoughts: 4* rating in ESB area 9+ rating or higher Pets allowed Free Internet Restaurant and Business Centre $216 a night. If you can help please that would be fabulous! Thank you!This listing has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board. The Andaz 5th Avenue and Archer would be guesses, but it may be something else. The 9+ guest rating is certainly solid, so the listing has that in its favor. Please keep us updated with what you decide.

VanessaV2210 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Posted March 1, 2015 The Andaz 5th Ave was my original thought and that's what I got excited about. The Archer less so as the rooms are about half the size. In 2 minds what to do now! Thank you for your thoughts. Much appreciated as always.
AaronJB Posted March 1, 2015 Report Posted March 1, 2015 Thanks for keeping us updated. Personally, I think with NYC, I'm not spending a lot of time in the hotel so it becomes looking for a good value, location and if I can get a hotel that I'm happy with in terms of style and reviews, all the better. If I'm going to be spending more time in the hotel (whether NYC or elsewhere), then it becomes more a focus on room size and amenities. Unfortunately, with NYC rooms are - at least on average - smaller than average.

VanessaV2210 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Posted March 1, 2015 Oh well, it was the latter of the two. The rooms are half the size and that's one of the biggest bug bears I have about hotels in NYC, but I realise that's the risk you take in booking a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal. Let's see what happens when are there. I've saved $500 on my original budget so I can't complain too much. Thank you so much for all your help whilst I made up my mind!
AaronJB Posted March 1, 2015 Report Posted March 1, 2015 Sorry to hear that the result wasn't the one of the two you'd hoped for, but a very nice deal for a newer property. Additionally, this hotel gets excellent reviews on tripadvisor, which is really saying something in NYC, where rates are often sky-high and expectations are not often met as a result of that. Additionally, in terms of smaller rooms, you can try writing/calling the hotel and see if you can negotiate a larger room. That's a difficult task in NYC and there's a definite chance they'll say no, but if it's of interest it's worth a try and the worst they can say is no. Thank you for letting us know about this new PRICELINE EXPRESS listing so that we can update the site's Priceline Hotel List. Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches. Enjoy your stay.
